At a town hall held in a Port Monmouth, a section of Middletown, New Jersey hard hit by Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie repeatedly and forcefully blamed the federal government for the hurdles residents are facing in their efforts to rebuild their homes. Christie faulted the federal flood insurance program for shortchanging policy holders and not meeting with homeowners in mediation; the Obama administration's refusal to fund aid for owners of second homes; Congress for delays in passing the aid package and federal bureaucrats for requiring extensive environmental and historical reviews of homes being rebuilt and he called FEMA "the new F-word."

Pallone said that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will investigate the use of $25 million of federal Sandy aid funds because of the marketing campaign.

Bob Bateman has experienced many struggles during the 40 plus years as a commercial fisherman in the Delaware Bay. But nothing like the impact felt from Hurricane Sandy last year. Bateman sets more than 200 crab traps in the Maurice River and Delaware Bay. When things are going well, he could see a harvest of 20-25 bushels per trip. This season, he's lucky to see 4 or 5. But certainly the worst event related to the storm came during March this year. Bob's nephew, 23 year old Josh Catlett, drowned when his boat capsized while dredging for crabs and conch in the Delaware Bay. The boat caught a snag, likely debris stirred up from the massive storm. Josh is considered by many, the last victim of Hurricane Sandy. (Video by Andre Malok/The Star-Ledger)

For generations, Mike Coombs and his family have harvested hay and other crops throughout the Delaware Bay coast in Southwest New Jersey. One of the most valuable crops that Coombs cuts and sells is naturally occurring salt hay, an indigenous solid-stem grass that grows in the marsh meadows of the bayshore. But things are changing for farmers like Coombs who is among just a handful in the state that still harvests salt hay. Salt water intrusion because of rising tide levels and failing dikes are part of the problem. Perhaps the biggest challenge Coombs faces are the strict environmental regulations which make it more difficult for him to gain access to salt hay fields, threatening to put him out of business.
